Contra the unexamined prejudice of every Cultural Marxist I have ever met, I do in fact read publications I don’t agree with. And since Salon makes the New York Times look like Chronicles, I was sure to check it the morning after Darren Wilson was spared the Cathedral’s righteous sword. Among other edifying posts (From Stuff White People Like to #NotYourShield: How irony is killing activism, Toni Morrison completely schools Stephen Colbert on the topic of racism, et. al) was one of their spectacular, and semi-frequent, round-ups of things the kept opposition has tweeted that they find mean. Right-wing’s sick […]

In the interest of keeping us all on our toes, Social Matter has conducted an interview with Michael McGregor, managing editor of the always interesting Radix Journal, and Gregory Hood, a frequent contributor to Radix, along with Counter Currents and American Renaissance. Note: In the style of Vdare, some links come from the authors and some from the editors. Hubert Collins: Everyday there seems to be more and more commentary on “neoreactionaries” (NRx), sometimes loosely called the “Dark Enlightenment.” However, I don’t think they’ve received much strong analysis from the perspective of someone more to the right and less mainstream […]

Occasionally I reflect on the craziest things I have ever heard other whites in their twenties say, whether it be in coffee shops, bars, or college campuses. Then again, the Baby Boomers really are not any better. The list gets intense: A Scottish left-anarchist once tried to convince me that the origins of the word “Christian” came from 1850s America, and that it was invented by nativists who were trying to unite Catholics, Baptists, Anglicans, etc. against non-Christian immigrants A Maoist Boomer I knew in Chicago earnestly tried to convince me that there was no other way to describe what […]

How curious it is that Timothy Stanley popped up on so many of “our” radars with his evenhanded biography of Pat Buchanan back in 2012. Dr. Stanley even wrote a little piece for Takimag designed to boost sales, and James Kirkpatrick of Vdare gave it a (measuredly) positive review. A conservative, Catholic, British historian who seemed to have a soft spot for Pat Buchanan – what wasn’t there to like? Next thing I knew he had only clichéd and left-y things to say about the “Dark Enlightenment” back when everyone and their mom was writing about us. The winning line […]

On July 8th, 2005, less than six months after the movement lost Sam Francis, the unauthorized right lost another figure we are forever indebted to – Wilmot Robertson. As the editor of Instauration and author of The Dispossessed Majority, few did more to keep the torch going between the collapse of organized Southern resistance in the early ‘70s, and rise of American Renaissance and paleoconservatism in the ‘90s. Kevin MacDonald, F. Roger Devlin, and the editors of The Occidental Quarterly have all written impressive praises of the man, but Robertson’s work speaks for itself—specifically one of the most impressive chapters […]
